Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the options to mitigate global warming is geological storage (sequestration) of carbon dioxide (CO2) for reducing greenhouse gas atmospheric emissions. Geological sequestration refers to the injection of CO2 into subsurface formations, such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs, saline formations, or un-minable coal beds. This technology is considered as one of the most effective ways of reducing emissions in the short to medium term. In the IEA Clean Technology Scenario, over 100 Gt of CO2 are permanently stored in the period from now to 2060; therefore, it is important that we fully understand the implications of carbon storage from a technical, environmental, economic, and social perspective.
We invite contributions on innovative technical developments, case studies, analysis, reviews, and assessment from different disciplines, which are relevant to geological sequestration of carbon dioxide and climate control technologies. The topics include (but are not limited to): reservoir response and plume evolution during and after CO2 injection; reservoir characterization; fluid migration, leakage pathways and ground water impacts; storage capacity; trapping mechanisms; risk assessments; monitoring; geochemistry; and storage performance assessments.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
